- B&w. Outdoors. Group of men, women, and children sitting and standing in front of a house, in front of the children on the right is a decorative table cloth on a table. The men are wearing suits with ties, and the women are wearing dresses. Benjamin Garfinkel is sitting at the table on the left side; his wife is sitting next to him. Narrative: This photograph was taken on the occasion of a family gathering to celebrate the imminent departure of Benjamin Garfinkel (born July 18, 1894 in Podolsk, Russia) and his wife Ita (born circa 1900) to North America. The photograph was taken at the house of an aunt named Sourka. She is probably the one who booked the photographer for the occasion. Benjamin and Ita Garfinkel were the last ones to immigrate out of Europe. Ita's family had immigrated to Montreal already, mostly because of the pogroms that took place in their region. They left Ukraine on August 28, 1926 via Moscow, St. Petersburg (probably) and took the SS Murdoch from Southampton, UK to Canada (probably Québec city or Halifax). Ita was pregnant at the time of their trip; she had her fourth child in Canada. Family members who stayed in Ukraine were all killed during the Holocaust.

- Framed, outdoor scene. Seven people sitting and lying in a field of tall grass. The four women are wearing pale dresses and caps. The two men are in dark suits with dark hats, and there is a young boy lying beside them. Structures and more people can be seen through the grass. From left to right, people are identified as: Ginda Kalujnia (Rosenblatt), Pessa Guz, Tanya Chorusuorskaya, Shayka Chorusuorskaya, Esther Chorusuorskaya, Buzya Chervaskay and David Chervaskay. Narrative: Ginda Kalujna Rosenblatt was born in 1891. She was a graduate of the Women’s Medical Institute of Saint Vladimir University, Kiev. After receiving her degree, Dr. Rosenblatt was conscripted by and served in the Russian Army from 1917-1918, at first as an intern and then as a captain. She was assigned to the 266th Regiment, working at the military hospital in Ostrog, Ukraine, and was later assigned a post closer to the front. The regiment was constricted by economic difficulties, transportation difficulties, and growing unrest among the troops with regard to the Russian military authority. In late 1917 the 266th regiment decided, independently of the central government, to end their part in the war by demobilizing the troops. Dr. Rosenblatt agreed to this scheme and, along with Dr. Henryk Zamenhof, was responsible for the diagnoses of “heart ailments” among the majority of the members (probably in good health) of the regiment. She herself was diagnosed with a heart ailment and received an honorable discharge in 1918. Dr. Rosenblatt was reunited with her husband, Abraham Rosenblatt, in Kiev shortly afterward. After the war, she practiced medicine in Briceni and then Lipcani, both in Bessarabia, Romania (now Moldova). Dr. Rosenblatt and her family immigrated to Toronto in May, 1934. Although she fulfilled the requirements for an M.D. degree at the University of Toronto, she chose to devote the rest of her career to social work. Dr. Rosenblatt died in 1986.
